Using the Vocoder
Introduction
A vocoder option can be ordered for the MICOM-3. The vocoder provides voice privacy at good
voice quality, using digital signal processing techniques.
The vocoder supports the following protection modes:
Privacy (PVT) mode, compatible with the VP-116 Mini Voice Privacy Unit. The vocoder can store
up to 8 private keys for use in this mode.
Digital (DIG) encryption mode.
You can select the desired protection mode, or switch to the clear (CLR) mode. To support protected
communication, the radio bandwidth is automatically switched to 3.3K.
The vocoder can be used in all the modes (Channel, Frequency and ALE).
Note
When using the DIG mode with ALE, the radio scans in the Clear mode. When a
vocoder call is detected, the radio automatically switches to the protected DIG
mode after the link is established, and returns to scan in the Clear mode after the
link is disconnected.
Using the Vocoder
When operating the radio with the vocoder in the Channel, Frequency or ALE mode, you can choose
between the CLR, DIG, and PVT (private) modes:
PVT activates the automatic voice privacy functions
DIG activates the vocoder digital encryption function
CLR reverts to regular radio activity.
Notes
1. There are eight preprogrammed PVT keys, PVT1 to PVT8, and one digital
encryption key (DIG). Program the key to be used as described in the
Programming the Vocoder section starting on page 102. The currently-used
key number appears on the screen.
2. In the PVT and DIG modes, the vocoder controls whether you hear or not the
received signals, and therefore the squelch option (SQ (F3)) is not displayed.
The Squelch option (F3) appears only in the Clear (CLR) mode.
3. When the PTT is activated, a hold-off tone sounds. Wait for the hold-off tone
to end before talking.
